Cheaters Repent!

Yesterday, Jesse James apologized for cheating on his wife, Sandra Bullock. Today I heard the Bounty Hunter, Duane “Dog” Chapman, admit in a radio interview he had fooled around on his wife. "But not lately" he said. That’s reassuring.

Do you think Tiger Woods is feeling a little relieved hearing these celebrity confessions? Perhaps Wood’s recent public apology has prompted more men (and some women too) to fess up to their indiscretions. This could be the start of a clear your conscience fad. Confess all your sex sins while it’s trendy! Oh please don’t let this catch on: we’ve heard enough about your personal problems already.

It’s not even news anymore when you hear of a celebrity or politician cheating on their spouse. It’s pretty much expected, and has lost any shock value. Before long, being unfaithful will be acceptable like “Okay, go have your fling, and get it over with, you were going to do it anyway! But just remember mister, you’re going to pay for it, big time! Men will start overhearing their wives saying :“Hmm, this diamond looked bigger when he bought it and where did I put that Gucci catalogue.”

Congratulations on winning the Oscar for the best waste of 3 hours + of my life

We are going to see some happy faces tonight at the Academy awards, when Oscars are handed out to all the winners. A number of actors will be beaming with pride and shedding tears of joy and appreciation, while thanking their family, supporters and God (yes, God really did want you to win that Oscar, so he pulled a few strings). But sadly as we know, there will be many times more actors, directors etc. who will have to settle for the biggest loser category. Naturally they'll put on a brave smiling face while pretending to show support for the winner of their category. That is all part of acting experience, but we know in our hearts they are human, like ourselves, who are envious, greedy and very competitive. Hey, it's part of this dog eat cat world, but that's another issue.

So it's very competitive , this Hollywood acting business, and having an Oscar is like having Tiger Wood's stature as a pro athlete (that may not be the best analogy these days in retrospect) . An Oscar may not guarantee an actor more film roles, but it won't count against them either, unless producers are worried about having to pay their Oscar winning star in sacks of gold.

Well I'm tuning into the the big event tonight to check out the main attaction: Which is of course, Steve Martin and Alex Balwin portraying, two wild and crazy kind of guy co-hosts. And good luck to all the nominees and congratulations to all the losers, who will smile bravely in defeat. You deserve an award for that performance. Maybe the award show should take a page out of the Olympics book and give a silver and bronze Oscar to the runners-up. Now that would be worth staying up for.

Excitement grows as Oscars only weeks, oh! only hours away

Since I haven't seen any films this year, it is going to be difficult to predict any Academy award winners. I've heard Avatar has a good chance since it was a big box office winner. Money matters in Tinsel Town, so it could pull off the best picture. Actually I don't care. I really don't care, plus I don't even know the names of so many actors ( exception being the chick from Alien's) and I'm quickly losing interest in Hollywood. Why do we care about these people. Are our lives that meaningless that we have to covet these bigger than life stars? Time for a reality check, and then to get a life.

Come on people, start cherishing your family, your kids, your spouse or partner, your parents and your friends. Entertainers are simply that: they are only there to serve their own best interests and couldn't give a rat's ass about you. So stop with the oogling will you, and look around at your family: these are the people that matter to you, right? Okay, that's my sermon for today.
